I just tried to buy a door liner for my Maytag refrigerator from partselect.com but (a day after the order was confirmed, thank you very much) was told that they don't want to ship a large, fragile part like this from their warehouse in Canada. They could ship from a closer warehouse, but they would have to tack a $70 shipping charge onto it. Yowzer.

I'm wondering if this is a general problem with on-line parts houses, including repairclinic.com. Is it safe to have a part like this shipped, or should I buy it from a local place?
